I did a double-take when I saw Mike Remlinger come into the game for the Bravos. After his brutal performance in the 2005 production of Tito's Little Shop of (Bullpen) Horrors, I figured he was done.

Absolutely amazing to read that he currently leads the ATL staff with 34 appearances (and 3.74 ERA), perhaps one telling metric behind the Braves 2006 slide from their annual NL preeminence to the basement of the East.

He was a perfectly good option for the Sox in 2005 based on past performance. So are Tavarez, Saenz, and so was Riske. There's just been something about arriving in Boston that has ruined relievers the last few years.

Nationals walkoff HR against the Yanks. Bad news is that Wang pitched very well for eight innings. Good news is that if Schill can come through, first place is ours. Jays lose again as well. Last week's funk is a'lifting.
